When we started going to Lumia dental, we were extremely pleased with how friendly and competent…read morethey were. It was an added bonus that this was a female owned and run company (of which alas they are still way too few nowadays). Their patient care is excellent and as far as any dental work is concerned, I would highly recommend them. However, as their business grew and expanded, I was starting to worry about what this would mean for their patients. My worries did eventually come true: from a patient based practice, it turned more into a corporate business, and with it, the desire/need for higher profits. As a result, they decided to no longer accept our insurance (Guardian dental, a major dental insurance company) because, according to them, their low fee schedule did not allow them to provide the best care for their patients. Now, that latter is just rethoric, for they were doing an excellent job. Why would that need to stop? No, it was because Guardians fee schedule did not make them enough profit. The way it works is as follows: a dental practice can determine its own fees for various procedures. An insurance company, through collective bargaining, can then negotiate for a reduced schedule for their clients (depending on the local competition). So, accepting an insurance first and foremost means to agree to the collectively bargained fees. While getting less profit, it means a much larger potential client base. This is the power of collective bargaining (which would be so much more effective if health care in the US would be universal, like it is in many other countries and, as a result, also much affordable). For Lumia, however, loyalty to their patients was not deemed as important as getting more profit (perhaps because of the increased costs of having expanded the business) and so they dropped Guardian as one of the accepted insurances. To give one example: our insurance pays the full fee for a cleaning every 4 months. However, they now raised their fee for a cleaning, making us having to pay more than $100 for something that was previously free. And you can guess that with more involved procedures, the out-of-pocket costs gets up even higher. That is why we had to leave Lumia as clients---essentially being pushed out as not being affluent enough clients that do not mind paying much more than they used to---and we now found an equally competent dental clinic in the neighborhood which does accept our insurance. I can only assume that we will not be the only patients leaving the practice, and in the long run, this might seriously damage Lumia (unless they can find enough wealthy clients in the downtown area).

I've been Dr. Loflin's patient since 2010. I can say that he is an outstanding dentist, with great…read moreknowledge, experience. He is very gentle, kind. I've never had pain when I visit him. For me, the most beautiful quality is that he is extremely ethical. Would never force any dental work that is not necessary. A previous dentist told me I needed work on a tooth. Estimated to $2,000.00. Dr. Loflin had moved and I didn't know where his new office was. Luckily, I was thrilled to locate him. I went back to see him. He took X-rays of my tooth from every side, with a lot of attention. My tooth had no damage. I did not need the work. He could have agreed with the other, done unnecessary work and scam me out of $2,000.00. I know that he cares about me and does his best for me. I've sent a few people to him and they all "love" him. For me, he is the absolute best. I love him! Jasmine, in his office, is very nice, helpful. I cannot recommend Dr. Loflin enough! The best!

He could've easily done extra work and charged me for it, but he didn't. That honesty, along with his calm, caring manner and kind staff (especially Jasmine) really stood out. If you want a dentist who puts your needs ahead of your wallet, go see Dr. Loflin.

Every appointment has been a great experience because she answers every question without making you feel rushed and always makes you feel comfortable from start to finish. I have been going through a year-long dental implant process with Dr. Reddy, and her bedside manner has been exceptional throughout. She is compassionate, considerate, and incredibly relatable, which makes every visit feel much less stressful. From the initial consultation through each stage of treatment, she has taken the time to explain exactly what to expect, answer all of my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident in the process. What could have been an overwhelming experience has been made so much easier because of her patience, kindness, and genuine concern for her patients' well-being. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail. She never cuts corners, always makes sure you understand your options, and genuinely wants the best outcome for her patients. You can tell she takes tremendous pride in her work, and it shows in the quality of care she provides. Beyond being an outstanding dentist, she is a warm, thoughtful, and genuinely amazing person who treats her patients with empathy and respect. As an added bonus, Dr. Reddy is absolutely fabulous and has impeccable style and taste. She is passionate about helping her patients look and feel their best. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dentist they can completely trust.

Called to see if they accepted my insurance and they did and easily scheduled an appointment. Got to the office and to my surprise, the waiting area is empty! If you have been to any medical offices in chinatown, you would now it is packed all the time. Didn't even have to wait and was seen right away as scheduled. There was a dental assistant who took all my x-rays and if it is your first time, there is a lot! She was very nice and understanding and informed me that if I needed a break from the x-rays to let her know. After the x-rays, I was seen by Dr. Song. Dr. Song was amazing! He performed a gum analysis, oral and neck cancer screening that was touching the inside and outside of my mouth and the sides of my neck, and the tongue. Such thorough examinations for the first visit and worth the time for the examination and cleaning. Love that they gave goggles for me to wear because water always splatters for cleaning. Overall, an amazing experience and look forward to my future visits for my bi-annual cleanings.
